Desktop icons now covered with blue question marks - what broke?

[cgilley]

Okay, happy user of SVN and Tortoise SVN for many years, but this morning,
grrr, and I know it's on my end.

Earlier this morning, every single icon on my desktop had a blue question
mark on it. Yesterday, not so. So, I found the rogue .svn folder and moved
it to the recycle bin. Now just all of my folders have blue question marks.

What changed you ask?

Well, yesterday I took advantage of Intel's offer of a free Android
development kit integrated with Visual Studio. 2GB later plus Java plus
Java SDK. Did I nuke my installation of Tortoise SVN?

Kill the tsvncache.exe process. Then refresh the desktop or do a restart.

Ahhh, wow, that corrected the issue immediately. :) Thanks.

Why? Is this a known issue? I've rebooted several times, so would this not
have the same effect of killing the process?

I'm not certain, but I believe you have to kill the process, as opposed to letting it shut itself down cleanly during shutdown, in order to force the rebuilding of the cache.

Thank you,
